Ring Ring - Abba
Tabbed by Del Bradley
 
 
[Intro]
A | A
 
[Verse 1]
A                          A
I was sitting by the phone
                    D   D
I was waiting all alone
                                          A        A | A
Baby by myself I sit and wait and wonder about you
A                            A
It's a dark and dreary night
                             D   D
Seems like nothing's going right
          Dmaj7                 D            A            A | A
Won't you tell me honey how can I go on here without you?
 
[Pre-Chorus]
        E        E7      E    E
Yes I'm down and feeling blue
      E7    E                E  E7
And I don't know what to do, oh-oh
 
[Chorus]
A     A     A   A7        A         E7    E E7 E7 | E E7 E7
Ring, ring, why don't you give me a call?
E     E     E                          A    A | A
Ring, ring, the happiest sound of them all
A     A     A       A7     A            E7   E E7 E7 | E E7 E7
Ring, ring, I stare at the phone on the wall
      Bm
And I sit all alone impatiently
Bm
Won't you please understand the need in me
Bm Bm  E     E7    E         E7  E         A     A | A
So-oh, ring, ring, why don't you give me a call?
A  A   E     E     E         E7  E         A     A | A
So-oh, ring, ring, why don't you give me a call?
 
[Verse 2]
A                                 A
You were here and now you're gone
                         D    D
Hey did I do something wrong?
                                              A        A | A
I just can't believe that I could be so badly mistaken
A                        A
Was it me or was it you?
                          D     D
Tell me, are we really through?
          Dmaj7                    D                     A        A | A
Won't you hear me cry and you will know that my heart is breaking
 
[Pre-Chorus]
          E    E7          E
Please forgive and then forget
   E7    E                   E  E7
Or maybe darling better yet, oh-oh
 
[Chorus]
A     A     A   A7        A         E7    E E7 E7 | E E7 E7
Ring, ring, why don't you give me a call?
E     E     E                          A    A | A
Ring, ring, the happiest sound of them all
A     A     A       A7     A            E7   E E7 E7 | E E7 E7
Ring, ring, I stare at the phone on the wall
      Bm
And I sit all alone impatiently
Bm
Won't you please understand the need in me
Bm Bm  E     E7    E         E7  E         A     A | A
So-oh, ring, ring, why don't you give me a call?
A  A   E     E     E         E7  E         A     A | A
So-oh, ring, ring, why don't you give me a call?
 
[Outro] (repeat to fade out)
A  A   E     E7    E         E7  E         A     A | A
So-oh, ring, ring, why don't you give me a call?
A  A   E     E     E         E7  E         A     A | A
So-oh, ring, ring, why don't you give me a call?

Great tab! I think the chord on the last line of the verses is actually Dmaj7, rather than D7 ("won't you tell me honey"/"won't you hear me cry").
